How To Wear Sweatpants And High Heels, The Ultimate Cool-Girl Style

I don’t know any free-thinking fashion person who isn’t interested in looking like an off-duty model. They’ve just mastered casual, cool-girl style in a way that nobody else seems to be able to. Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevingne, Kendall Jenner—they all basically kill the fashion game without even trying. But perhaps the biggest and brightest star of all is Gigi Hadid. You kind of have to be if you’ve nabbed the lead role in Calvin Harris’s newest music video, right?

As if specifically trying to prove me right, Gigi strolled around in Sydney this past weekend wearing sweatpants and high heels like it was no big deal at all. She just rolled out of bed and threw on a pile of perfection as she always does. So, in honor of Gigi and her ultimate cool-girl status, I thought I’d take it upon myself to show you how to pair sweatpants and high heels on your own normal-person body. You’re welcome.
